Although the cabildo was a key institution in the conquest of America, the role it played in the various regions of the continent before the establishment of royal power is not known in detail. This article argues that the establishment of cabildos during the conquest of the Inca Empire allowed the creation of a local Hispanic political space, which enabled the establishment of colonial Peru’s first administrative and government structure. By facilitating the early negotiation and distribution of territorial resources, the institution reduced tensions among members of the expedition and thus provided stability to this first order, even in places that resisted direct control by the current governor. The various leaders of conquest sought to dominate this first order via the cabildos, and to maintain it against the onslaught of their rivals and the Crown.

Las dos primeras décadas de presencia hispana en el territorio de los incas han sido consideradas, no sin razón, como un período marcado por la guerra e inestabilidad política, tanto por los enfrentamientos militares propios de la conquista del Imperio inca como por las guerras civiles entre los conquistadores y la posterior rebelión de estos últimos contra la autoridad real. Sin embargo, y aunque ello no ha sido resaltado por la historiografía, a medida que la Conquista y los enfrentamientos avanzaban, y mucho antes de que la Corona lograra articular una maquinaria burocrática, se hizo necesario establecer una estructura capaz de administrar el territorio y los recursos recién adquiridos, es decir, instaurar un primer orden colonial. En este marco, la investigación tiene como finalidad estudiar la configuración y funcionamiento de este primer orden colonial en el Perú, a tra...
